BAND-WHEEL-TURNING DEVICE.

Application filed June 2, 1921. Serial No. 474,500.

may COHOQTIL I Be it known that I, RICHARD WQSAGE, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Augusta, in the county of Butler and State 6 of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Band-WVheel-Turning Devices following to be a full, clear,

and I do hereby declare the and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to a band wheel turning device.

The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, practical and efficient device of strong, durable and inexpensive construction designed for turning, truing and smoothing the band wheels of standard oil rigs.

These band by hand, are made true onl ing position a fore it has been necessary wheels, which are chopped necessarily rough and can be y after being placed in work- ,nd the belt put von.. Heretofor the person truing or smoothing the band wheel to stand in the narrow space between the flights of the belt and smooth and true the wheel,

whichis a more or less dangerous operation requiring a skilled workman and frequently resulting in a sliver running into the hand or body of the workman.

Another obj vide a device truing a band said to stand turn or true manner than ect of the invention is to proadapted to permit the person wheel of the character aforeat the side of the wheel and the same in a much neater has heretofore been possible with all the danger eliminated.

/Vith these and other objects in view, the

invention consists in the construction and novel combinatlon of parts hereinafter fully described, drawings and to attached; it

changes in the form,

minor details illustrated in the accompanying pointed out in the claim herebeing understood that various proportion, size and of construction, within the scope of the claim, may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is wheel turning a perspective view of a band device constructed in accordance with and embodying the invention;

Figure 2 is a transverse section of the tool holder and its supporting rod;

Figure 3 is a detail perspective view of the bit or chisel, and

vFigure 4: is a detail view of the combined guide and-pivot, the supporting rod being in section.

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the device associated with the rest and the work.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in the several figures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, in which is illustrated the preferred embodiment of the invention, the band Wheel turning device comprises in its construction a rod or member 1 provided at one end with a handle or grip 2 and slidable at its other end through an eye or openin 3 in the head 4 of a pivot 5, which is pref erably in the form of a bolt and threaded at one end for the reception of a nut 6 and washers 7. The rod 1 is preferably round, whereby it may both rotate and slide in the eye or opening 3 and is in sections joined by a block or member 8 having an opening 10 for the reception of the bit or chisel 11. Block 8 and the sections of the rod 1 are secured together by welding or in any other suitable way. 95

In practice the rod is usually of approximately three and one-half feet in length for operating on band wheels of a diameter of ten feet, and the block or tool bearing 8, which constitutes the tool holder, may be conveniently made substantially two inches square, but the size of the block or member may of course be varied to accommodate bits or chisels of different sizes and for providing a device of the proper size to meet the requirements.

The block or holder is provided with a slot 10 for the reception of a chisel or tool 11 preferably constructed of tool steel about an inch wide and one-half inch thick and approximately twelve inches long. The tool is provided between its ends with a quarter twist 12 to arrange its portions at opposite sides of the twist in planes at right angles to each other and either portion of the tool may be secured in the slot 10 of the tool is in position 'for operating on the band wheel the block or tool bearing 8 will rest flat against a rest or support. In practice, a narrow rest or support, S, issecured between the flights of the belt of the band wheel and.

the pivot 5 is mounted on the support, the head a being adapted to turnto permit the rod 1 to be adjusted, and the latter is adapted to be moved longitudinally and also to be partially rotated and also to be oscillated to manipulate the chisel or tool for trimming or turning up band wheels one of which is suggested at W. By providing a tool of this character band wheels may be turned up much truer than heretofore and it will not be necessary to discard the band wheels, which are often thrown away by reason of the inability of the workman to properly turn up and true the same.

What is claimed is:

A turning appliance consisting of an elongated rod, a support, means to mount the rod'with respect to the" support'for axial turning and for sliding movement during operation, a tool bearing on said rod, a tool carried by said tool bearing and extending transversely ,of :the rod and the support,

said tool bearing'engageable with the support whereby-the tool will be kept in a position substantially parallel to the surface of "the support with one'en'd operatively engaging'the'workj y In estiinony whereofI afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
